The MapBuzz website has grown fairly large. One of the downsides of having a large site is that it takes a lot of time to ripple updated user interfaces throughout it. One of the oldest pages was the search results page, which to be blunt, was dreadful. Take a look:
Some obvious problems:
- The color scheme is dreadful
- Most people don't see the filter bar at the top that let's you limit search results to a particular type of thing (maps, features, etc.)
- Results are sorted alphabetically, as opposed to being groupd by type
Taking all those usubility problems into account, here is the new, improved search results:
Things to notice:
- The color scheme is a lot more pleasant
- Most filter bar on the left is a lot more obvious, as is the currently selected filterd
- Results are grouped by type, and them sorted alphabetically
Better isn't it?
